I’m from a very conservative state. They are very proud of and use public land, sometimes daily just like I do. The conservatives I know are not happy about this at all!
That’s very strange. If they value public land so highly, why would they back the party that always aims to privatise everything?
Most conservatives aren’t really economically conservative. They too want police, schools, fire dept, infrastructure etc. to be well funded. There’s just also a nebulous idea that “government wastes money” and they don’t want their taxes taken.
I haven’t looked at the sub in a bit but that sub is actually becoming conservative again. That is to say there are actual conservative minded liberals advocating for the kinds of policy the GOP was pushing in the 1990s not the neofascism of the Trump era.
And yet nearly every single one of them will continue to vote Republican in every election for the rest of their lives.
Liberal fascism has always been a major force behind regular fascism.
